"Congratulations to the player, I am a thief. Because you have completed the hidden mission 'Authority to Cross Intervals' and the follow-up mission 'Rescuing Shipwright Ah Si'. The system rewards reputation +2000..." When the old man believed what Murong Xiaotian said After waving his hand to let Ah Si go, Murong Xiaotian remembered the system prompt in his ears.
"Damn. It turns out that rescuing Ah Si is still a task." Mu Rong Xiaotian could hardly help but laugh out loud. It's true that there is no way to stop a good thing when it comes. He killed two birds with one stone. He achieved his goal by saving Ah Si. And you can also reap benefits.
When the village chief saw that the old man exempted Ah Si, he went over and discussed with the old man in a low voice. After a while, Village Chief Lu said to all the men, women, and children in the village: "Okay. Since Mr. Lu has spoken, then. The matter will be dealt with lightly. Ah Si will be punished to repair all the fishing boats in the village for free for three months." Then Village Chief Lu turned his attention to Ah Si who crawled out of the pig cage and said sternly: "Ah Si, don't do this again in the future. You understand such a confusing thing."
"Uncle Lu, Ah Si will definitely not do it again." Ah Si nodded in agreement.
"Little friend," can you please take a moment to speak? The old man and the village chief have something to discuss with you.
"Seeing that the village chief had handled the matter properly, the old man smiled and waved to Mu Rong Xiaotian.
Mu Rong Xiaotian knew that this was a reward, but he didn't know what good things he could get. He immediately jumped off the Ni Yuan Beast King and took the Ni Yuan Beast King back: "Of course. I just don't know what the old man wants from me."
"Haha. This is not the place to talk. How about we go to the old man's house and have a chat?" The old man smiled slightly, as if asking for Mu Rong Xiaotian's opinion.
"No problem." Mu Rong Xiaotian nodded to the old man. Then he pointed at Ah Si who was standing not far away and seemed to want to say something to Mu Rong Xiaotian. "I'll talk to Ah Si after a few words," he said. Go. Do you think so?"
"Okay. The village chief and I will be waiting for you." The old man smiled and nodded to Mu Rong Xiaotian.
At this time, the villagers had dispersed at the direction of the village chief, but Ah Si, who climbed out of the pig cage and was reincarnated as a human, did not leave. He stood not far away with a respectful expression and looked at Mu Rong Xiaotian, regardless of No matter what, he had to say thank you. At the same time, he also wanted to know why Mu Rong Xiaotian went to such great lengths to save him.
When Ah Si saw Murong Xiaotian walking towards him, he looked respectful and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, brother thief, for saving me. Ah Si has nothing to repay. As long as brother thief is useful, Ah Si will come to Ah Si's place." Go through fire and water, no matter what. From today on, Ah Si’s skin belongs to your thief brother.”
"Brother Ah Si, you don't have to be so polite. It's just a little effort." Murong Xiaotian patted Ah Si on the shoulder comfortingly. He said happily: "But don't say it yet. I really have something to ask you for help."
"Brother Thief's business is my Ah Si's business. If you have anything to say, just say it. Ah Si will live up to his trust." Ah Si patted his chest and vowed.
"Let's do this." Murong Xiaotian thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Lu and the village chief come to me if they have something to do. You go back to the dock first. I will come to you after I have settled the matter with them."
"Okay. I'll wait for you at the dock." Ah Si nodded repeatedly.
Murong Xiaotian smiled and patted Ah Si on the shoulder. Then he greeted Kuizhan and Mingxin and the others. Then he followed Mr. Lu and the village chief to Mr. Lu's house. In fact, Mr. Lu's home was not far from the village chief's house. . Along the way, Murong Xiaotian learned from the village chief. It turned out that Mr. Lu was the uncle of Village Chief Lu. He was also the previous head of Yujia Village. He was also the patriarch of their family surnamed Lu. Most of the fishermen in Yujia Village They all have the surname Lu. There are very few foreign surnames. It can be said that Mr. Lu has the power of life and death in Yujia Village.
When we arrived at Mr. Lu's house, after a polite exchange between the two parties, Mr. Lu got to the point: "Little friend, I think you should already know from my nephew's mouth that our Lu family is responsible for the area of several hundred miles around the fisherman's village. Have the absolute right to use it.”
Murong Xiaotian was overjoyed: "Wow, there is a way. It seems that this reward is related to this land. God is really helping me." Murong Xiaotian suppressed the joyful beating in his heart and said with a slight smile. : "I heard this from Uncle Lu. I originally wanted to build a port city here. But Uncle Lu said that the land here is not for sale. Alas, it is a pity to waste such a huge resource."
"My nephew is right. This land cannot be sold." Mr. Lu smiled slightly and said, "But we can grant you the absolute right to use this area."
"Okay. Build a beach. You can watch countless beautiful girls swimming." Kuezhan laughed.
"Pervert." Ming Xin grabbed Kuang Zhan hard.
"Conditions." Murong Xiaotian replied calmly. He was not as excited as fighting them wildly. He was mentally clear. Since the system rewards himself in this way of negotiation, there will be no conditions.
"First, we must ensure the interests of the villagers in Yujia Village. After the city is built, they must have permanent residence rights free of charge." This time it was Uncle Lu who spoke.
"Well, this is what it should be. After the city is built, I guarantee that all the villagers of Yujia Village will be the first batch of residents to move into the new city. And I guarantee that no taxes on passing, moving in, buying and selling will be levied on them." Murong Xiaotian Nod. If a city is to be built, then the fisherman’s village must be demolished. People cannot be left homeless.
"Yes." Mr. Lu and the village chief looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction.
"Second, we have the obligation to ensure the life safety of the villagers in Yujia Village." Village Chief Lu continued: "You also know that we NPCs are different from you players. You can be resurrected if you die. But we only have one life. Wait until this place is built. Once we reach the port, many players will definitely flock to it. I have to consider the safety of my people."
"There is nothing wrong with this. But there is one thing I must declare. I am only responsible for the safety of the people of Yujia Village in this area. If it goes beyond this range, I will not be responsible." Murong Xiaotian thought for a while and agreed. Yes. You only have one life. It’s normal to cherish it a little.
"The third point. We want 30% of all your income in this area." Mr. Lu took over the topic.
"Damn it. This game developer is so fucking evil. They give you a task to build a city and develop it. They don't do anything and they take away your third-level income." Murong Xiaotian cursed secretly. He also You are not an idiot to think that this income is taken by Village Chief Lu and others. You can figure it out with your toes. This money should not be taken away by the system.
"Okay. No problem. When I start making profits in this area, I will settle the settlement with you at the end of each month." Murong Xiaotian could only agree impatiently. If he disagrees with this point, the other two items are equal to Bai said that he would never get the right to use the land in this area.
"That's unnecessary. The system will automatically settle the accounts at the end of each month. The three-tiered income system will also be automatically deducted from your account by the bank. You can just make money with peace of mind." Mr. Lu waved his hand to Murong Xiaotian. .smiling proudly.
"Damn it. It's just as I expected. The boss of this system is so ruthless. It's watertight. You can't even ask me to make false accounts." Murong Xiaotian fiercely and secretly despised the game developer. But on the surface I had to say generously: "Haha. This is the best. It also saves me a lot of trouble. Just do what you want." Thinking about it makes me depressed. My heart aches to death. I still pretend to be generous on the surface.
Murong Xiaotian didn't know this. The system set only one condition for this task, which is the third condition. The other two conditions are that with the gradual deepening of the assimilation of the alien space in the "Destiny" game, the NPCs are gradually becoming more humane. What will be produced later. What kind of impact will this change have on the "Destiny" game? What kind of world will the "Destiny" game develop into in the future? Let alone Murong Xiaotian, I don't know. Even if " The creators of the Destiny game. They don’t know either.
"Haha. If that's the case, how about we sign the contract." Mr. Lu and the village chief both showed knowing smiles. Of course they would be extremely happy. If Murong Xiaotian only agreed to the third condition, and the rest If they ignore the two conditions, they can't violate the rules of the "Destiny" game. They still obediently hand over the use of the land to Murong Xiaotian. Now that they have lost such a big benefit, how can they not be happy.
"Wait a minute. I also have a condition." Murong Xiaotian waved his hand.
"Please speak." Mr. Lu and Village Chief Lu were both a little nervous.
"I must have the absolute right to use the land. No one is allowed to participate or interfere with how I use this land without my permission." Murong Xiaotian also raised his own bargaining chip. This is very important. Otherwise, he Aren't you making wedding clothes for others?
"No problem. What do I think it's about?" Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you don't violate the three conditions above, after the contract comes into effect, you have the final say on everything in this land."
"If that's the case, then I don't have any objections." Murong Xiaotian spread his hands.
Seeing Murong Xiaotian agree, Mr. Lu stretched out his hand and drew it out of the air. A scroll with golden light appeared in front of Murong Xiaotian: "Look, everything we just said is recorded on this. If it is true, .You drop a drop of blood on it. Then the content on this scroll will be automatically attached to your attribute block. Only you have the right to control this land. It is also protected by the system. You can even set up a barrier at any time. No. Let any player without your consent enter this area. Of course, there is one exception. That is, after opening a national war, other countries declare war on you. Then they can invade your territory. There is another point you should pay attention to. That is, you cannot violate the three terms recorded above. Otherwise, the system will punish you and even take back the land."
Murong Xiaotian said nothing more. Mr. Lu had already said this in detail. He stopped talking nonsense at the moment. He bit his finger and dripped blood on the scroll. A bloody light immediately wrapped Murong Xiaotian and the scroll together. .It disappeared within a moment. The scroll had been attached to Murong Xiaotian's attribute column. From this moment on, Murong Xiaotian became the owner of this land.
"Okay, little friend. Now you are the lord of this territory. I hope you can bring a better life to our villagers in Yujia Village." Mr. Lu stood up and held Murong Xiaotian's hand tightly. : "Now all the NPCs in this area can also be said to be your people. They are useful to us. Just ask and we will do our best to help."
"Okay. Definitely. Definitely." Murong Xiaotian said haha, but his heart was itching: "Grandma's words are better than what she sings. You don't have to do anything. You don't have to pay a penny. You don’t need to pay. Just take away my three-tier income. I still need to take care of food and drink. Protect your interests. I also have the obligation to protect your safety. His grandma is basically a white wolf with nothing. This land is so easy to develop. Yes. That requires huge capital investment."
Seeing that things were done, Murong Xiaotian left Mr. Lu's home with Kuang Zhan and the others. Murong Xiaotian started to think about the problem while taking Kuang Zhan, Ming Xin and the others to Ah Si's dock.
At this moment, Murong Xiaotian began to worry about the problem of money. To be honest, he had always only thought about taking risks, buying equipment, and completing tasks. As for other things, he rarely bothered about it. Of course, for Wuhan University He is completely assured of He Jingyi's ability. Even he himself knows very well that Wuhan University and Jingyi are too strong on him when it comes to making money in business. He also knows that their increasingly large group now has The industry and funds are becoming more and more abundant. But all of this did not come out of nowhere. It was made possible by the hard work of these brothers and sisters.
But he also has a sense of coercion. They can't transfer large amounts of funds to "Destiny" like other consortiums. They can't. They don't have any money to transfer. They can only rely on themselves. In the "Destiny" game It can be said that they are far ahead of other forces in building a city. After the exchange function was opened, the construction of Tianbing City of Niantian Group was ahead of them. If the other forces hadn't started a mercenary melee, They are in disarray. And they don’t know how many wealthy forces will come ahead of them.
Therefore, Murong Xiaotian is now eager to know how much money they have available for turnover. After all, they have a city under construction outside Phoenix City, which also requires a large amount of capital investment.
"Wow, ho, ho. Brother Tian, let's build a fucking country that is invincible in the world." Kuizhan looked excited.
Mingxin looked down at Kuizhan who was walking next to her: "Why do you always like to daydream? The founding of a country cannot be established until a player reaches level 80. That is a thing of the year of the monkey. Before level 40, a gang can be established. I haven’t even written my horoscope yet. I’m thinking of founding the country.”
"This is called planning for a rainy day, do you understand?" Kuizhan said unconvinced: "Since there is such a good opportunity to build a port city, plus our new city outside Phoenix City, we have two cities. No matter what, It has laid a good foundation for us to build our country in the future. Haha." Kuang Zhan was happy just thinking about it.
"You think we can just build it as soon as we say it. That requires money." Ling'er looked at him as if he was an idiot.
Murong Xiaotian didn't listen to Kuai Zhan's discussion. He just walked with his head lowered while thinking. Suddenly he stopped. He suddenly felt that it was urgent for Wuhan University to come here. He did what he said and immediately opened the hero Summoning function. He wants to attract Wuhan University first and then talk about it.
"Boss, what are you doing? You don't say hello first every time. It was like this last time in Lichun Court. It's like this again now." Wuhan University was the same as last time. He only wore a pair of big shorts with an indignant look on his face. Fighting in front of Murong Xiaotian and the others.
Kuangzhan Mingxin and the others suddenly stopped when they saw Murong Xiaotian walking. Strangely, they were about to ask. Suddenly they found Wu Da wearing big shorts standing in front of them with a grimace on their faces. They couldn't help but cover their faces. He laughed wildly with his belly full.
"Wow, haha. I can't tell you, Wu Da, your muscles are quite developed." Kuang Zhan laughed wildly.
Ming Xin and Ling'er also giggled non-stop.
"How do I know? You don't wear any clothes at noon." Murong Xiaotian suppressed a smile and took out a set of clothes from the package and handed it to Wuhan University.
"Is it okay for me to take a nap?" Wu Da took the clothes and put them on while saying with a grimace: "Boss, my beautiful image has been completely ruined by you. You can't tell me what happened today. Who will tell me? Who am I in a hurry with?"
"Okay. Okay. Let's just not talk about it. Just pretend that what happened today didn't happen." Murong Xiaotian was busy trying to smooth things over.
Wu Da's face looked much better now. He asked, "Why do you come to me so urgently?"
"Of course there is something. And it's a great thing. You can use your expertise again." Murong Xiaotian answered the question. He smiled and glanced at Mingxin and the others: "Kuizhan, Mingxin, Ling'er, you three go first. Ah Si’s dock. Take Ah Si to the ocean-going ship and wait for me. I’ll take Wu Da to survey the general situation of this area first, and then we’ll meet back on the ship.”
After Murong Xiaotian finished speaking, without waiting for Kuai Zhan and the others to reply, he summoned Xiao Bai from the pet space. He pulled Wu Dafei and jumped onto the back of Xiao Bai's wings. At the same time, he gave Xiao Bai the order to take off.
"Boss, are you mistaken? Let me carry this short fat guy..." Xiaobai's strange cry of dissatisfaction came from the air.
